In the beginning there were only 5 of us. Want to say a word about each and why they matter #Upstream #UpstreamTwitter #Thankful

Is one of the funniest guys I follow. The quintessential instigator, he's pissed off pretty much everyone at some point - myself included - for his own amusement.

Few realize tho he was responsible for organizing #Upstream. He put our thought into action.

"I've experienced X"

"No you haven't, X doesn't exist"

- Fast track way to never learn anything about the world
The difference between me and other people is I never immediately dismiss someone else's experiences.

I know they may not UNDERSTAND their experience, or they may rationalize it poorly.

But if I haven't experienced something and others have, maybe they know something I don't?
I've spent TEN YEARS thinking incessantly about dating, sex & relationships

It's taken me through PUAs, polyamory / spirituality circles, the red pill, and now something else... a synthesis

Never once did I presume to know it all.

Only recently am I learning how far I've come.

There are two aspects to this.

(mini-thread below)
The first is recognizing your own response to excess. People get desensitized when they are constantly dating. It's like with food - snack on junk and you lose the ability to taste real food. Or like scrolling a feed vs reading a book.

We don't need that many leads.
The second comes in response to the first: you begin to notice individual girls more and feel a draw to them. This is your intuition; these you approach.

My experience (and those of my clients) has been that these approaches almost always go well and lead meaningful dates.

Dating sucks today because dating has become TRANSACTIONAL. No amount of numbers will change this.

Stop playing the same game and expecting different results.

Modern dating calls for a different game.

(THREAD)
I've been in this community for a decade and I've seen how it's changed.

The internet introduced collaboration between men, and PUAs assembled online to share tactics. This led first to bar/club game and then hacking online dating.
TRP came next, broadening the information in the tactics to a broader mating strategy, based on an understanding of culture.

Guys now have a foolproof approach to get laid, since they understand the biology of women and the sexual marketplace.

People are so weird about this stuff. Don't go into debt for a ring, but there's nothing wrong with buying something nice if you can afford it - she's going to wear it every day.
Price comes down to 4 variables: carat, color, clarity, cut.

Carat (size) is up to you, but overrated
Color matters but top end unnecessary
Clarity doesn't matter at all (unless very bad)
Cut is the most important thing

You get charged for all these, so decide accordingly
I got my wife half carat or less in size (can't remember), above average with color, average clarity, and ideal cut.

Cut is what makes the diamond sparkle.

The ring is gorgeous and cost like $2500, looks better than 10k rings. It's her favorite possession.

Biological Attraction is the man's "Burden of Performance"

I have talked about this over 1000+ times. I have written about it:

patstedman.com/2016/10/12/wom…
patstedman.com/2016/09/29/wom…
patstedman.com/2016/01/28/do-…

I will not write about it for 10+ years like other Red Pill "thought leaders"
Once you get the basics handled (these are BASICS) there are other things you must know to have a good relationship with women

If you cannot understand this, you are NOT ready to follow me

Maybe one day

Or maybe never

I don't care
Stop tweeting at me dumb shit like "durr you don't think men have to be masculine to attract women"

You are under cognitive dissonance

You are OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE

I am speaking to people who have internalized something you haven't

Renaissances are about decentralization.

The printing press led to information, which led to the rejection of the priestly class that had previously controlled it.

There is zero difference with what is happening to the media today and the implications will be just as enormous.
People understand this surface part but miss the big picture.

A lot of people resisted new information. Once old institutions (somewhat) reformed in light of the pressure many remained committed.

So neighbors killed each other.

The 30 years war was an absolute bloodbath.
It was so bad even the eastern front in WW2 pales in comparison.

1/3rd of the Holy Roman Empire (roughly modern Germany) died.

Because people were not just fighting over “differences of opinion,” they were fighting over frame.
